 and won an important game in January. That helped it all now that it's a completely different season and with so many new faces. Not necessarily. It was a different team that when we went up there, and they're a different team as well. Obviously, Tom Brady is in the quarterback anymore. Matt Jones is playing at a high level. Their defense is playing at a high level as well. So it'll be a huge challenge for us. I would guess just the routine of knowing where the locker rooms and all that stuff would be a little bit easy. But as far as these two teams are different teams then we're at different parts in our season. But it's two great teams, so I think that it'll be a competitive game as well. So I'm excited about the challenges we have to prepare and get ready to go beat the New England Patriots. Why do you think this team seems to have a knack for playing some of its best football a lot of times either after a poor performance or after losing guys to injuries and things like that? Is there anything you can put your finger on? Not necessarily. I said at the end of the game we didn't play well and we needed to make that consistent. But at the end of the day, I mean, if we consistently play well, play up to our standard, our level will be undefeated. And that sometimes doesn't happen in this NFL and we're still eight and three. So we did play a bad game on Sunday, but at the end of the day we're still in a great spot. And we're gonna have great energy today. Great energy this week and we're gonna be positive and we're gonna go out there and try to get another W. That was the first time you faced a former teammate. What was it like kind of watching John New develop here and what's it gonna be like to face him on Sunday? Now it's gonna be fun. John New was a great player here. Enjoy, obviously I played against him in college at FIU at MTSU. Had a lot of battles on his practice, filled with him one-on-ones or whatever that may be. Was really happy and really proud of, you know, the contract that he got his offseason was able to, you know, go through England. And it's gonna be fun going against him. He's gonna be a huge challenge for us. Anytime he has the ball in his hands, he has the chance to go 80 yards or whatever that may be, but also Hunter Henry's playing really well for those guys as well. So two really good tight ends and I'm excited about the challenge to go cover both of them. They guys talk a lot about the next man-up mentality and I know that attitude is so much of that, but what does it take practically when you're out there and someone new comes in to keep going and keep having that success? Yeah, it takes for number one, usually when we talk about the next man-up mentality, especially the guys that we've had here, guys understand that even if they're on practice squad, that they have to be ready to play in the game because you never know what happens throughout the week. Obviously with all the injuries that we have, everybody has to be clued in to make sure they're ready to play. But when they bring guys in from other places or maybe from the street, those guys do a great job of coming in the building and understanding what the mentality is and how much we love football, how much we love to prepare and get ready for games and they immediately get up to speed really quick. Then at the same time, me personally, especially if they're in my room or just on the defense or whatever, I try to make sure that I'm always talking to them, helping them out if they have any questions, trying to be a coach on the field in a sense. But their next man mentality up has definitely been huge for us this year, obviously with all the injuries. City of Mack Jones now likes to quit passing game. How difficult is going to be for you as a safety to not come up and then they take that shot over time? Is that something you guys are really being conscious of? For sure. I mean, it takes patience. I mean, as a safety, I understand my responsibility depending on what the coverage is and stuff like that. I can't really get to ANC to try to go outside or the defense try to go make certain plays because like you said, then they will take a shot and then nobody wants to see that no big play. So I think as long as we keep the ball in front of us, he can dink and dunk in as much as he want. If we're good in the red zone, we'll be good. But like I said, he's playing at a high level. He's doing exactly what they're asking him to do and we'll try to take away some of those options and those deep balls from him so he can keep checking down to run it back some stuff like that. Do you learn a little bit more than the game that you guys just played? Yeah, similar, honestly. I mean, we gave up, I think, with 107 passing yards. Obviously, at the end of a game and all the emotions of losing the game and stuff like that, you kind of get lost with the stats and stuff like that. But me watching the film, I really felt like we didn't really play that bad as far as on defense. But a couple of key spots that we didn't play well, touchdown in the red zone here and there. But yeah, I mean, I think that if we could play that like that, like we played on Sunday, I think we'll be fine. Just a couple of times where I think we could have just challenged receivers just a little bit more. Do the Jones look a little more advanced maybe than your typical rookie quarterback? Honestly, I think most of these rookie quarterbacks coming to league now is a little bit more advanced than they were when I first came into the league. I think quarterback play in this league is at a really high level. There isn't a lot of teams that just had bad quarterbacks and he's no different by him being a rookie. I mean, it's the reason why he went high in the first round. So I just think he's just being smart. He's not being careless with the ball. He just, I think any quarterback, in regards to your rookie, your 20-year vet like Tom Brady, if you don't turn the ball over and you continue to give your offense chances, chances to keep snapping the ball, eventually, you know, they turn the points and you end up winning a lot of games. So we're going to find ways to make sure we get the ball off here. Running backs, pretty comparable guys or they present different challenges when they're out there? No, I think they are, you know, I think they're all kind of comparable. But at the same time, they do present different things. Obviously, Stevenson or the running back, he's a rookie. He's playing really well for those guys. And you know, I think just as a whole entire offense, they all have different personnel, guys that do different things well. So I think that just throughout this week, we're going to make sure that we're studying these guys and make sure we understand what all these guys do well. But understand you maybe have a, I guess, a Thanksgiving event today. Can you talk a little, maybe a little bit about that and why that's important to you? Yeah, I mean, I've always talked about the community efforts that I do throughout Nashville. And obviously today is going to be no different. We're going to be partnering with Eatwell in Nashville and we'll be delivering to, it's not going to be as big as I usually done it, but we're going to be delivering holiday Thanksgiving meals to 10 different families, but we'll also be giving them a $2,500 check as well to help out with the holidays. Because we understand that, sometimes we all do a lot of Thanksgiving stuff, but I'm not really big on just handing out turkeys because sometimes even myself, I don't even know how to cook a turkey. So it wouldn't feel right for me just handing out a turkey and not actually cooking it for them. So we're going to deliver meals to those guys, but also give them a little bit of relief for the holidays.
